Tuesday must perforce have taken the question of the Florida under notice, and we may well feel curious as to the course proposed to be adopted and agreed upon as to be pursued. Notwithstanding the many awkward turns that events have taken place since the American war began, this disgrace ful capture is perhaps the most flagrant violation of the rights and the laws of warfare. The great Powers of Europe cannot afford to let the matter drop quietly, and the seizure be virtually sanc tioned by silence or a faint reproach. Even the vacillating policy of our present Cabinet must surely shrink from such a disgraceful compound of wrong, and yielding to oppression. It is satisfac tory to hear that rumours are afloat that our Go• vernment has addressed a note to the other great Powers proposing a joint remonstrance. It would be better if each Government spoke out boldly and forcibly for itself, and did not seek to mince the matter, nor to attempt to shelter itself under the protection one of another, but avowed its intention of standing on its ground to protest against the gross violation and demand restitution and repara tion. Such a ccurse would be far more likely to im press the offending ration than a confused mixture of reproaches and reprisals which a Government much less sharp than that of Washington will well know how to evade. This was seen at the time of the Polish war when the three Powers made their many futile attempts to arrest the progress of destruction, and to ameliorate, if possible, the con dition of the unhappy Polee. Not only were their remonstrances treated with indifference but finally with contempt, and the Cabinet of St. Petersburg actually presumed on the strength of the joint affair to insult, not only our supine administration, but the haughty authorities of France. Perhaps it is the recollection of the supreme failure of this p Irtnership, in the very unthankful task of remone strance, that has induced the EMPEROR to resolve on this occasion to appear in solitary force. It is said that he has addressed a strong protest to the French representative at Washington, to convey to the Government there, intimating that the act of piracy committed by the officers of the Wachusetts has gone beyond the bounds of toleration, and that unless the Florida is released and the Brazilian Govetnment compensated, the Federal men-of-war will be prohibited from entering French ports. The substance of this may doubtless be true, if the exact terms are not the same, and it is to be trusted that such will be the case, and then, perhaps, the peacemongers who misrule and spread their evil influences over our Cabinet will be silenced for once, and a truer, nobler, policy will prevail more worthy of the great name of England, more kindred to the course that has hitherto taken when the rights of nations were set at nought, and the claims of justice trodden under foot. It would be difficult to imagine a more flagrant case of wrong than this capture of the Florida. It stamps the seal, as it were, upon the warty acts of low, cunning, savage cruelty, and unseemly tactics which have degraded the character and disgraced the tone of the Federals since the commencement of this disastrous war. No losses in the field, no failure in the military maccouvring of their generals, could have covered them with half so much disgrace as their ungenerous and inconsiderate conduct has occasioned them. They are covered with obloquy in the eyes of all those to whom home is dear and good faith is sacred—setting aside the attendant claims of a war which should be waged on the claims of civilisation, and the principles of gentle blood and upright minds. In this contest, so far as the Fcderals are concerned, there has occurred nothing to dispel the gloom that war casts around it. Their course has been more like the revengeful Indian, who follows the trail of his enemy through mighty forests, end rests not by day or night until he has cff,eted his purpose and wreaked his deadly vengeance, than the plans pursued by civilised States when they are arrayed in armies for pure poses of defence, motives of conquest, or reparation of injuries. It is well known that this lamentable style of overreaching and treachery prevades the Northern side of the belligerents ; but the question comes home to us when we think what we are to do, and is it our part to speak or to keep silence. It is certain, that if the Great Powers do not now interfere they may well put up with anything, and it will be as well for the hesitating to refl.:et, that to all intents and purposes, they must regard the seizure of the Florida the same as if it had taken place in a port of England or France. The principle is just the same, because a strong position cannot sanction wrong any more than a weak one can obviate the necessity of right being maintained. Another thing is, to what purpose are all the countries of the world to be supposed to give in to the oppressive actions of the Federals, and to submit to their tyranny for themselves and others. It would take long to enu merate all the base and dastardly transactions which have followed suit to the affair of the Trent, but at all events the glimmer of their recollection will suffice to show that it is an unscrupulous and powerful Government that our tame and insufficient measures have allowed to gain such a pitch of im pertinence, and attain to such ligrant outrages. Has not the time come when a check should be put to such a headlong career of destruction, and such a systematic course of cheating under one specious pretext or another, If we are to hold out VA right hand of fellowship to a Government devoid, of principle, and approve by a suspicious silence an action which is an affront to all honest, men, then we shall be stultifying our position., and proving renegades to our first duties of citizenship, and denying the fundamental principles of right. It cannot be necessary that we must stoop to such a sacrifice, even to keep up the pseudo-friendship of the United States, to meet the approval of Messrs. COLDEN and BRIGHT, or to satisfy the insane de sires of those who cry anything for peace. If nothing else brings about a war, it will certainly be rendered imminent by the abt•etrd course taken by these mistaken men. They are all fanatics in their vocation, and ignore all the important interests of a State to suit their petty purposes, and give their prejudices full swing. Not that a rupture of our alliance with the Federal Government is to be tips prehended in the event of our Ministers speaking out in a decided manner ; but whether it is or not should not be considered when right or wrong is under consideration. It would seem as if Earl RUSSELL were aspiring to be called the Minister of America, to conclude his career; but those who desire the reputation of their country will not be put off with idle pretences and subterfuges. It this matter of the Florida is compromised, it is to be hoped that the next outrage committed by the Federals may be in an English port, and the public opinion will be too strong fur any Minister to resist, or to act in defiance of, and the authorities at Washington may fled cause to rue the day they attempted the THE SUN, LOND The preservation of the few open spaces still left in the vic:nity of our ever-increasing metropolis is too important for the public health to be altogether overlooked, even amid the more pressing matters which daily occupy the general attention, Almost every year the Parliamentary champions of the popular interest have to oppose some scheme can ning;y and craftily brought forward, which has for its object the conversion of the pleasant breezy commons about London into streets, squares, and villas. Notwithstanding their vigilance, they are sometimes defeated by the: introductio n of bills, seemingly quite harmless, which are hurried through empty houses, but which really contain some slyly worded clause conferring the coveted power, Time-honoured old Hampstead has long been liable to such attacks, and the area sacred to donkeys and furze-bushes has visibly contracted within the memory of this generation ; but Clap ham, Mitcham, and - Wimbledon have also been threatened with the fatal transformation of grass and trees into bricks and mortar. The social re former watches with anxious eye the progress of such changes, knowing the evils which they foretell. 'Vete system of suburban residence, now b 0 widely adopted, is no doubt very advantageous to the health of the residents, but how about those to whom such luxuries are impossible ? There must always be vast numbers whose press of occupations or lack of means restricts them in their choice of residence ; and it is this very class—the poor and overworked—who mostly require the benefits of fresh air and change of scene. True, their hours of relaxation may be few and far between, but let them at least have the chance of spending those hours in pursuit of health as well as of pleasure. Suburban terraces and villas standing in their own grounds are no doubt pretty sights enough, and pleasant to those who live in them, but the toil worn artisan, or the close kept clerk, or small tradesman will not derive much rural enjoyment from walking along a paved street and looking at them. The open common or people's park, where he may stretch himself on the grass, and his chil dren may disport themselves with hoop and ball, and lose for a while the oppressive vision of the eternal chimneys, is what will tempt to the family excursion instead of the publichouse or club-room. The throngs who pass an hour or two of healthy enjoyment in our parks on summer evenings speak with " the inexorable logic of facts" on behalf of our open spaces, but great as are the booms they offer they. are too far from many of the more densely populated portions of our metropolis to be altogether available. For these the commons come to the rescue, and the philan thropist may well regard them with a jealous eye. They are open to some objections to which parks are not liable, such as the harbouring of gipsies, tramps, &c , and the depositing of rubbish which give the residents of the neighbourhood an excuse for complaint. Few persons can regret the trans formation of the disorderly Battersea-fields into the beautiful park now existing in their stead, but that is a very different thing from enclosing and building upon open ground. Even were such spaces less valuable as places of pleasant resort and means of healthful recreation for the people, they would be of great service to the metropolis by preserving some spots where the fresh sir - may freely circulate in the vicinity of our closely packed streets and lanes. The Chinese cities, which are often of immense extent, include within their walls large gardens and grounds attached to the wealthier houses, but with us every rood of ground is be coming too precious for such luxuries. The preser vation of our heaths and commons in some form or another is therefore becoming daily a matter of more importance, since it is quite evident that some decided steps must be taken, if we mean to secure them for the public use and benefit. How to reconcile the various conflicting claims and in• terests is the great perplexity to legislators and philanthropists; but while all is uncertain and un satisfactory, an act of private liberality is likely to settle the question in one quarter, at least, in the best possible manner. Earl SPE.,cox, in his capacity of lord of the manor of Wimbledon, pro poses to convert the principal portion of the com mon into a public pack of about seven hundred acres. lie suggests enclosing that part of it which lies between Kingston.road and the village of Wimbledon with a light iron railing, thoroughly draining it,.making new roads, and erecting lodges and the other usual conveniences and ornaments of a park. This park would be dedicated for ever to the public use, and he himself would become its superintendent, charging himself with the current expenses of management and repairs, for which he would retain the exclusive right of pas turage. At the same time, while anxiously con• sulting the general interest, he proposes to associate with himself a responsible Government officer in the formation of the bye laws, the granting of permission to hold meetings there, &0., in order, he says, with a prudence and moderation by no means common, " to protect the public from the consequences of any whim or caprice on the part of himself or his suc cessors." The expense attending the formation of the park, and the compensation of comnl an rights, he propcses to meet by the sale of outlying port tions of the common, selecting those which are least productive of pleasure or profit. The compensation will be fixed by the Enclosure Commissioners according to the T z tinciple on which Earl SPENCER has acted thrceghout, and it must be borne in mind by those woo prefer nature in her wild form that the whole 'of the common will not be enclosed, but that s a m e part will remain in its present unculti va',ed condition. The great object of the scheme will be to secure this valuable space to the public use and benefit free of charge ; and although the scheme was only mooted the other day for the first time, it is not likely to encounter much opposition. The noble prcjtctor, who seems to be most anxious in every way to guard against any arbitrary exer cise of his own power, convened a meeting of the chief persons of the neighbourhood, and suggested that a committee should be formed to take his plan into consideration, and to give him their advice and assistance. There could, of course, be but one opinion as to the kindness and liberality with which the noble Earl had devised a scheme so little to his own advantage, and his suggestion was at once com plied with by the nomination of a committee to consider the subject is all its bearings. It is too much to hope that Lord SPENCER'S example may be followed in many quarters, but at least we may hope that his public, spirit and liberality may have a deterrent effect on those lords of the manor who only busy themselves how they may counteract the act of Parliament, and turn what is so great a bless ing to the people to their own use and profit. We may rest satisfied that, thanks to Earl SPENCER'S undertaking, Wimbledon at least is secured from all present and future innovations, and by initiating so important a movement on be half of the popular rights, to health, and recreation, Earl SPENCER has deserved the title of a public benefactor.

[This telegram has occupied nearly four days in trans mission from Lisbon.] NEW YORK, Nov. sth. Advices from the Army of the Potomac to the 3d inst. state that the situation of affairs remains unchanged. The troops are busily engaged in building log housee. A severe storm had occurred, putting the roads in bad condition. No immediate active operations were indicated. General Butler and staff had gone north. Confederate accounts claim that the result of the recent Federal operations has manifested, beyond dispute, the utter inability of General Grant to aehieve any success, however small, without re ceiving first heavy reinforcements, The Confederate General Dearing, previously reported killed, is said now to be only slightly wounded. General Lee reports that in General Ketti's attack on the Federals on the Broydton road, General Mahone broke three of their lines of battle and captured 400 prisoners, and that the Federals retreated during the night, leaving 250 dead on the field. General Lee further reports that on the 27th ult. General Field captured over 400 Federals and seven stand of colours, on the Williamsburg road, and that General Mahone, on the night of the 30th ult., penetrated the Federal picket line near Petersburg, and swept it for half a mile, capturing 230 officers and men, without the loss of a single man. No new movements in the Shenandoah valley are reported. Early is believed to be receiving heavy reinforcements at, Newmarket where he is reorga nising his army. Confederate guerillas are nume rous and active in Sheridan's rear. Federal accounts from Georgia are still very meagre. No advices have been received from Atlanta, although it is represented that the railway and telegraph are in good order from that point to Louisvili, Kentucky. A Louisville despatch states that Hood with 30,000 men crossed the Tennessee river on the Ist inst., goiog northward. Deserters say that orders from Hood and Forrest were recently read to their troops announcing that ',he former would cross the Tennessee. The com mands of Forest, Chalmers, Brefard, and Bell were being concentrated. It is rumoured that a portion of Forrest's forces has been routed at Shelby by Colonel Hatch. The position of Sherman's army is not known ; but it is understood that every exertion is being mado to render Hood's operations a failure. The gunboat Undine was captured by the Confederates in the Tennessee river at Fort Herman, on the night of the 30th ult. She was an inferior vessel. The affair was a surprise. Confederate accounts state that Hood recently in formed his troops that they were about to make a fifteen days' march. Their destination was not stated. The troops were said to be in fine spirits and discipline, and rapidly increasing in numbers, by reason of deserters returning to their regiments, And large numbers of recruits coming in. The troops are, however, badly off for shoes and blankets. These they expect to obtain in Tennessee. Beau regard is with Hood, and is reported to have assured the troops that the Federals will very soon be compelled to evacuate Georgia entirely, and pro bably Tennessee also. The Richmond Examiner supposes Hood to be now in middle Tennessee. The Federal garrison at Atlanta, according to Southern accounts, numbers only 6,000 men, with 2,000 in hospital, and no cavalry. The capture of the place, with its entire garrison, by the Georgia militia is confidently predicted. It is considered not improbable that Hood will move directly upon Nashville, if not forced to a❑ engagement south of that city. Whatever may be the plans of the Confederate General, the result of his present movement will soon be known, and must prove either a signal success or an overwhelm• ing disaster. Missouri advicec, unofficial, announce another defeat of Price's army in Newton county. Price is reported to be retreating into Arkansas. No de tails are furnished. There is no evidence that any engagement has yet been fought with Price's main army. Generals Roseneranz and A. J. Smith have arrived at St. Louis. Smith's infantry is reported to be moving eastward along both banks of the Missouri river. No official intelligence from Mis souri has been received—at least none has been made public—since the reported crossing of the Osage river by Price. Richmond papers state Kirby Smith is carrying out his plans in the Trans-Mississippi department with decided success. Magruder is still in Arkansas, and Shelby is reported to be operating against Steele's communications. In Kentucky the guerillas are still very trouble some, roaming over the State in large bodies , and depredating upon all Government property. Gen. Burbridge has issued an order to the effect that guerrillas shall be stringently punished by military law, and shall not be treated as prisoners of war. It is reported that the drafted men in Kentucky nu mbers. are going into the Confederate service in large Commence at 7. JOYAL ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Manager, Mr. Benjamin Webster.

Lord Napier, who leaves to-day for his new post at Berlin, was received at a farewell audience yes• terday by the Emperor. His lordship this morning had an interview with a deputation of English residents in St. Petersburg, who presented him with an address alluding to his meritorious services for the preservation of peace during the crisis of the Polish rebellion last yeah. After a few introductory observations, Lord Napier replied : "It is true that we have passed through a period dangerous to the friendly relations of Evgland and Russia and to the peace of Europe. It is equally undoubted that, if this crisis has bee❑ passed over without the disastrous consequences to which you have alluded, that result is mainly due to the wis dom of her Majesty's Ministers, who did not allow their determination in a matter of universal and lasting interest to be influenced by the aspect of a partial and transitory evil. In the secondarj part which I was called upon to to play in these negociations I endeavoured to fur nish her Majesty's Government with correct views of the policy of the Imperial Government and the feelings of the Russian nation. I tried to speak as an impartial but invariably well-meaning judge, without allowing myself to be blinded by the pas sions of the moment. I was supported in this course _ _ by the kindness graciously shown to his Majesty the Emperor, and by the confidence felt in my in tentions by his excellency Prince Gortschakoff. I shall also never forget the advantage and satisfaction afforded me by the friendship of several distinguished Russians, who labour for the regeneration of their country, others with differing and even opposite views, but inva riably with similar patriotism. I trust that all of them may be made acquainted with this expression of my gratitude and esteem. Gentlemen, we may unreservedly express our sympathies for a great nation, governed by a good monarch, and labouring with firmness and calm at a noteworthy change which is preparing for it a more prosperous future: While I express these sentiments, I know that I act as the interpreter of the sincere feelings of my countrymen living in Russia. If the political relations existing between Russia and England do not offer the basis of an exclusive and constant friendship, they yet afford much cause for mutual good offices. We cennot flatter ourselves with the hope that the interests or efforts of two so differently con. stituted Powers, whose expansive forces in regard to influence, trade, and strength, narrowly ape preach each other on many of their limits, should never come into collision. It is the duty of diplo macy to obviate, or at any rate to weaken the motives of difference which might arise, and to seize every legitimate opportunity for friendly co-operation. Pressing ciroam. stances impose upon both parties the imperious necessi!y of pursuing a peaceful policy. It appears to me the opinion of the most thought ful, whether servants of the State or private indi viduals, is favourable to England. It would be useless to deny that there aro points with regard to which the honest and permanent feelings of the majority of Englishmen are opposed to Russia. I expect to witness a remarkable change in this re- Epee. The diffusion of education, the increase of trade, the development of public liberty in the empire, and It reserved attitude of the Im perial Cabinet in the oriental question, will arouse a friendly feeling in England, and give rise to a more liberal estimate of the value of Russia in the political and religious balance of Europe. By this means the suspicions and enmities, dating from other times, will cease. I think the relations be• tween the two Governments may inspire us with confidence at present, and that they will soon afford greater cause for satisfaction, " It is to be regretted that the years which have elapsed siece the peace of 1856 have not been cha racterised by greater progress in the principles of commercial freedom, and by a more flourishing trade between the two countries. In these ques tions, however, the chief result will certainly not be gained by the representatives of official advocates. The proofs in favour of free trade are evident in the treaties of our political economists and in the speeches of our statesmen, and these sourcas are open to Russia. The advantages of free trade are demonstrated by the prosperity of Great Britain. The development of intelligence, the example of France, the urgent necessities of the revenue, the diminution of protected and very costly branches of industry, the conversion and unanimity of disinte rested persons and classes, will unquestionably pro duce an eventual change in the commercial sys tem of the Empire. We must await the operation of these natural agents which are incessantly at work." His lordship ended his speech with a few ex presbions of regret at his departure from Russia.

The name of this novel indicates the locality to which it relates. It is a Welsh story, sprinkled throughout with unpronounceable names, to which, however, in the course of its perusal, the eye be comes sufficiently familiarised. Mrs Howitt has evidently lived among Welsh scenery and Welsh people until she has come to love and appreciate the beauties and peculiarities of that mountainous region and that original race. And not only has she done this herself, but by the marvellous fide lity of her descriptions and the life-like reality of her sketches, she readily enables the readers of " Caergwyn" to transport themselves for the time into the regions of which she relates. The first volume of the novel is perfect in its way. The opening description of the pleasant village of Dol-y-maenan, and the simple homestead of Fridd .back, has all the fidelity and minuteness (to use a very hacknied comparison) of a Dutch picture. The scene is presently enlivened by a passing glimpse of some peasant girls going milking : " Away they went, with their shining cans, which reflected the sunlight far below, laughing, talking, and singing, up the winding paths of the green mountain side," end here is a closer view of one of the number, the charming and loveable Laura Hughes, of Fridd •back— A WELSH MAIDEN. She was a tall, well-made girl of sixteen, with a com plexion in which the rosy hue of health was enriched with golden sun-tints till it seemed darker than it was by nature ; her features were good and clearly defined, but the charm of her whole countenance was in her beautiful, dark grey eyes, eyes of that old British type, sometimes grey and sometimes brown, which to this day are charac teristic of the Welsh. Deep, clear, and dark eyes, yet filled with light ; eyes they are such as flashed in the proud, indignant countenance of Boadicea, or spoke the eloquence of the Divine Truth in that of the British Princess. the Empress Helena, the mother of Constantine, whose beloved name Cymrian tradition has gratefully retained in many a beautiful locality. Laura's eyes were of this class, and therefore very beautiful ; and though her brown and wavy hair was somewhat wild and unkempt, in accordance with her sunburnt complexion, she was one of the plea santest objects you would meet with on a summer's day, a regular mountain maiden beaming with health and good humour. Wordsworth, had he seen her, would have written a poem on her, or had there been a pre-Raphaelite painter in those parts before the class existed in England, he would have gone wild over the rich, lovely colouring of her com plexion, her speaking eyes, and the simple joyousness of her countenance as a bit of beautiful nature. The prominent character of the first volume, in fact the masterpiece of the whole work, is old Simeon Hughes, the earnest, simple-hearted, God-fearing owner of Fridd-back, tempted towards the close of his life, in an ill-omened hour, to become the pur chaser of the rich domain of Caergwyn. After old Simeon's death Caerg gun is for a time withheld from the orphan inheritors by the unfaithful steward to whom it has been entrusted. The Cost of Caergwyn, the heavy cost hazarded by the trea cherous Grono Vaughan, is awfully indicated on the title page, where are quoted those terrible words, " What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul ?" This price, which the unjust and unscrupulous do not hesitate to adventure, is the fearful Cost of Caergwyn, which gives its name to Mrs. Elowitt's enthralling history. The character of Grono Vaughan, as he yields to temptation and descends, step by step, down that fatally rapid incline which leads to destruction, is powerfully described; but even yet more powerful is the pie• ture of old Simeon, in the first volume. As a speci men of the natural style of the narrative we can not do better than quote the following gossipping reminiscences. Mr. Rutherford is a wealthy Eng lishman, with numbers of Welshmen in his em ploy : " Why, you see, Susannah," returned Grono, "Mr Rutherford was always fond of walking; he used to go after plants and stones. I've known him to walk twenty miles after a bit of moss without a leaf on it I Well, ho was coming home one dark Saturday night in February, when the weather had turned stormy,aud the wind was high. Right over the top of Pentaren-bach he came, which is a nasty place, when there's any wind, following a little path along a ledge on the face of the rock, with the rock rising like a wall above, and n othing to hold by, and a sheer precipice below. Everybody knows the spot well enough," "Ay, sure I" '•Yes, indeed 1" acquiesced several, and Grono proceeded : " It was a queer place to be walking along at night for any one, especially that was not used to the country, And just as ho gets there, in the pitch darkness, he comes face to face with a man, He shouts to him in English, and the Man shouts to him in Welsh, and neither understands what the other says. He declared that the man sprang at his throat, and tried to throttle him." "He was tipsy himself I" interrupted Mrs Vaughan. "I always mid so, and always shall say so, Besides, it was Saturday night 1" " How like a fool you talk, Lisaboth," exclaimed her husband contemptuously, " what was Saturday night to him ? He could have ale or wine enough whenever he wanted it. Besides, he was not a man given to liquor; never was, and never will be 1 He was sober ; the man might be drunk if you will I However, they went at it, and a desperate struggle they had, and over the rock he wee pitched. And that's the wonderful part of it to me, that he was not killed." " I don't believe he ever was pitched over the rook," interrupted the Wern-y-pandy weaver, "and it doesn't stand to reason. Nobody could be pitched over there and not be killed 1 Why, there was nothing but a young sap ling, that a child might have pulled up, to save him 1" " There's something queer about it somewhere," said Grono ; " and you see, Susannah," continued he, again addressing her, "there was nobody to give any 'account of it but himself. There was a fight, no doubt, with some • body, for all the country went up next day, and for days afterwards, to see the spot. There were no foot-prints, because it was hard rocks, but the very rock itself was broken in many places. And thanks were given in the church after service that he was not killed. On Monday he had all his people sent for, and told them ho knew it was one of them, and that he could lay his hand on the man that did it, but ho forgave him, and he wouldn't say which of them it was." " That was the very thing," said the old miller, "that offended everybody." " Never would say which of them it was," repeated Grono; " said he forgave his intended murderer, but wouldn't name him ; said he left him to the punishment of God, and of his own conscience 1 But that wouldn't do. They said, and they say to this day, If he knows the guilty man, lot him point him out, and not leave the charge to rest against every one of us I" Years after this incident had occurred an old man, moved by the solemn teaching of good Simeon, comes to him and tells him that he was Mr. Ruther ford's intending murderer. Very touching is the description of the two old men going together to confess the once-intended crime to the meditated victim. Neither of them can speak a word of English, and Mr. Rutherford is ignorant of Welsh. Not wishing to make the penitent's confession known to a third party, Simeon Hughes takes his 'Welsh Bible with him, and, asking for an English Testament, finds by the help of chapter and verse the corresponding passage in the unfa miliar language, and, pointing to his companion, pats before the astonished Mr Rutherford the exclamation of the Penitent Prodigal. Very force fatly and very beautifully is the whole scene por trayed. We are only spoiling it by any attempt at a description. Let us rather give the following happy history of a good clock that would have been dear to the heart of George CruiksiiAnk TEMPIRANCE CLOCH. "It was about the time of Mr Fitzmaurice," said Simeon, one day in his old-world talk with the boy, "when the famous clock which is now at lalawnddu came first into our family, and was, in fact, the first clock that ever came into this part of Wales." "Tell me about it, father," said Lento. " It was my grandfather, Cadwallader Hughes, who bought that clock," replied Simeon. "It is a carious and handsome old clock, and came from foreign parts, from Italy or somewhere. First it got t 3 Liverpool and then to Chester, where my grandfather saw it. Old Cadwallader, but he was a young man then, was a deep-thinking man, always turning his mind to sun-dials and instruments that would measure time. There were no watches in this coun try in those days, but clever as he was he never could make anything that was exa ct enough to please him. Well, one day he was at Chester he saw this clock. It was the first he had ever set his eyes on, though he had read about clocks, and had a great cnrioeity to see one," " What was it like, father V' " It stood about six feet high, in a tall black case figured over, and had a yellow dial-Plate full of scrolls and patterns, and was worked with a heavy steel pendulum that moved very slowly." " I'll go and see it some day, if they've got it now. May I, father, if Richard ask me ?" !bald the lad, remembering the next moment that he had never yet seen Richard since the evening of his deserved chastisement. But he said nothing of that. " Ay, you may go and see it some day, perhaps," re- ___________•-___ WINDSOR CASTLV, I '''' . b oo.
